Copper Mountain Technologies Launches Industry’s First Native MacOS VNA Software for Seamless RF Test Integration

Copper Mountain Technologies announces the launch of the industry’s first macOS native software for Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs). The new CMT VNA software for macOS delivers the same powerful functionality available on Windows and Linux, enabling engineers to operate Copper Mountain Technologies VNAs that run on their CMT VNA software directly within a macOS environment.

The software allows seamless integration into existing engineering and test workflows without requiring additional operating systems or external control platforms for both manual measurements and fully automated RF testing through SCPI commands via TCP/IP sockets. All CMT VNA software is included with the purchase of any of their VNAs at no additional cost.

Native macOS operation brings precision RF and microwave measurements to users and enables a more refined and efficient customer experience for advanced R&D laboratories, high-end product development teams, aerospace and defense applications, and innovative technology companies already standardized on macOS infrastructure. A first in the industry, Copper Mountain Technologies’ USB VNAs operating natively in macOS extend the reach of engineers who can now incorporate precision VNAs into their test environment while eliminating the friction of switching between operating systems.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
